You can find it. It's expensive, but it's out there. Ammoseek is a good resource.
Supplement with bows and arrows, spears, swords, a mace or two, Viking axes, etc. They will be necessary in CWII.
reloading supplies are gone too. Fortunately, I have no reason to be a panic buyer of ammo or loading supplies.
AR sales numbers strongly disagree. Most gun stores are long back ordered for black rifles, but still have some shotguns.
Do head shots count? Just sayin’..... LOL!
No doubt. I saw a BAR destroy a cement barrier. I hate to get hit by a 30-06 in a vest. Better than without.

double points!!
1ST term of the imposter I stocked up
Would it be enough to take a person out of the fight?
good question... probably depends on the person... i think the average person would be highly unmotivated to continue after taking a 30.06 to the vest... but, adrenaline in combat does odd things to a person and other would continue on. I saw a guy take a 7.62x54r round to the vest and jump right up and start returning fire.
In a pinch a dozen guns is enough for a dozen people. The responsible thing to do then is have a dozen guns and enough ammo for a dozen people. Somebody should do this.
Not anymore.
After answering some probing questions from my kid brother recently he commented, "You're even more of a gun nut than I thought." He hasn't even asked all the right questions yet.
Body armor doesn’t protect the major arteries in the groin area. lol
“The responsible thing to do then is have a dozen guns and enough ammo for a dozen people.”
I’m old. I don’t get out much. I don’t know a dozen responsible people I could hand a rifle to when the balloon goes up.
I don’t understand this idea that a person needs 45 tons of ammo; I have enough for sighting in and practice once a week.
I shoot about 100 to 150 rounds a week in pistol calibers to keep my reactions up to date, about 50 rounds of rifle caliber just so I can nit pick my own groupings.
In a full scale PROG/LIB/DEMOCRAT/COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST/SNOWFLAKE riot I wouldn’t expect to have to expend more than 20 to 25 rounds (including non-lethal wounds or misses), pick your targets to cause the most chaos and panic.
Pick out those who appear to be the leaders and organizers; the ones with the megaphones, the ones doing the gesticulating while shouting instructions or orders, the ones gathering small 3 to 5 person groups around themselves in order to pass on instructions.
Kill those individuals (the officers and senior noncoms) and the mob will start to fall apart and run for cover pretty quickly; especially when they have blood, bone, and brain matter splattered all over themselves.
Also, wonder if an abdomen shot is better than a chest shot.
